India Sept. 28, ISIS. fl spatchet have been received at the East India [louse, from the Governor in Council of Bombay, of Wh ich Disritches, and of their Inelosures, tic following are copies and extracts : GENERAL ORDER BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COVER- NOR-GENERAL. Camp Owreeah, cm the left bank of Jumna, 1.6.2), 1818. The Governor-General and Commander-in- Chief cannot quit the field without offering his best acknowledgments to the Officers command ing the several divisions of the comb;ned army, for the signal zeal and ability with which each has In the part assigned loin in the late ex tensive operations. To Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Ii slop it might seem superfluous to oiler praise ; yet there are titles to applause which shou!d not be absorb ed in the lustre of victory. The temper and for bearance with which his Excellency (possessing all the consciousness of superiority from the qua lity of his troops) eittlea%oated to avoid a nip tore with liolkar, and the judgment with which he improved success after his conciliatory efforts had tailed, demand high commendation. The chivalrous intrepidity displayed by Brigadier-Ge neral Sir John Malcolm in the battle of Method pore, and the admirable tact manifested by him in the subsequent negotiations, advanced the pub lic interest no less than they oistinguished the in dividual ; while the relief of the Residency at Nagpore, and the defeat of the Rajah's forces, through the prompt arid decisive energy of Bri gadier-General Doveton, complete the dignified exploits of the army of the Deccan north of the Godavery. Major-General Sir Wm. Grant Keir, with the Bombay division from Gozerat, has exhibited the most meritorioas activity, with important advan tage to the issue of the campaign. The leaders of the Bengal divisions have a simi lar.claim on the Governor-General's approbation ; the vigilance and judicious movements by which Major-General Marshall constrained the Titula ries in their retreat to keep that route to which the Commander-in-Chief had indicated his plan of confining them, were of extraordinary conse quence. Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, with his di vision, ably co-operated in this object ; and lie subsequently, by the skilful direction of his de tachments, gave the finishing blow to the rem nant of the Titularies, which had escaped by an incalculable chance when nearly surrounded by the two divisi- ei-cady mentioned, and by that of Major-General Donkin. The strenuous exertions, and sz..entiriC marches, of the latter Officer 'cut off the retreat attempted by the Pindaries towards the north ; a derangement of their plans which precipitated their destruction, Whence the ser vice was equally creditable to the Major-General told beneficial to the public. Though the course of events did not give to Major-General Sir Davi,i Ochterlony any opening for the exercise of that vigour and re3onrce which have so brilliantly divinguished his f orme r profes sional commands, there can be no one in this ar my unable to comprehend how solidly effectual the positions and conduct of the Major-General have been in promoting the object of tranquillizing Central India. Fortune was more favourable to Major-General Brown in presenting opportunities; and he avail ed hiaoself of them wilh a deci,ion and style of ar rangement affording honourable proof of his nil laary talents. Br i.:tidier-General nardyman, by a gallant and well-conducted action, reduced a considerable ter ritory, and extinguished an opposition which threatened to be troublesome; and the judicious disposition which Brigadier-General Toone wade of his force, prevented any enemy's attempting to oistract our attention from the objects of the campaign, by an inroad into Behar. If the conduct of Brigadier-Generals Smith, Munro, and Pritzlcr, in the Poona State, be not here particularised, it is only because their ope rations are still in process, so that the praise Which could be awarded, large as it would be, might prove inadequate to achievements, the an nunciation of which has nut yet reached the Go vernor-General. . Throughout the late enterprise, the alacrity and indefatigable exer ions of every department in the army have been such as to deserve the Governor- General and Commander-in-Chief's warm appro bation. The t:lteration produced, within three months, in the state of Central India, is beneficial to the inhabitants in a degree which the most sanguine could scarcely have ventured to hope ; and to every Officer who has been engaged in this undertaking, the remembrance of having had a share in effect ing a change sra interesting to humanity, will keep pace with that consciousness of having advanced the prosperity of the Honourable Company, by efforts of zeal and courage, for wl►ich the Govtr nor-General offers his earnest thanks, howsoever unequal that acknowledgment may be to the merit which calls it forth.

Copy of a Report from Brh;adier-General.Pritzler to the Ad joitant-General of the Army, dated Camp dear Sirogisor, March, 161 S. Stg,—l have the honour to report, for the in formation of his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief, that the fort of Singhur (5) was invested by the troops under toy command on the 20th tilt. that ou the 22d a battery of four mortars and t wo howitzers was opened to the southward of the fort under the hills, anal another of one mortar and one howitzer was established on a bill to the east ward, distant about six hundred yards from the fort; on the 24th two six-pounders were added to this battery. On the 25t1t a battery of two twelve and two six-pounders was established on a hill to the westward of the fort, distant about one thousand one hundred yards, in order to enfilade and keep down the fire previous to the erection of the breaching batteries. On the morning of the 28th two breaching bat teries, of two eighteen-pounders each, were com pleted, and opened their fire. Our fire, from the commencement of the siege until yesterday, was returned by the enemy with great spirit, and an effort was made by them to oppose our possession of the heights to the east ward and west wat d of the fort ; I am, therefore, surprised that our loss of men (a return of which is inclosed) has been so inconsiderable. Yesterday afternoon the enemy made proposals to surrender the fort, which were not acceded to; but this morning the articles of capitulation (of which the inclosed is a copy), were signed by me, in concurrence with the opinion of the Honour able Mr. Elphinstone, the British Commissioner. The garrison, it appears, consisted of about 100 Arabs, 600,Gosains, and 500. natives of the Con can, of whom about 30 were killed and 100 wohoded, The great natural strength of the fortress, and the only assailable point (the gateway) being at so great a height, very much increased the diffi culties of the siege, as both ordnance and amn►u nition could only be got up to the batteries by manual labour. I do myself the honour to inclose a copy of the Orders l have issued upon this occasion ; and I have great pleasure in making known to the COM.. mander-in-Chiet that the conduct of every indivi dual under my command gave me the utmost sa tisfaction. From the experience and professional know ledge of Lieut.-Colonel Dalrymple I derived the greatest possible assistance, as well as from Capt. Nutt, the commanding engineer, and Lieutenant Grant of that corps, who acted as commanding engineer, until the arrival of the former Officer front Poona. have the honour to inclose a return of the ordna►►ce and stores which have been found in the fort.

Sughtir having surrendered, BrigAdier-General Prizier congratulate, the division under his coin intid, upon having gained possession of so strong a nrtress with so little loss. xLe Brigtulit r-Geueral is much obliged to Lieut. Colonel D3lrymple for his exertions during the .slege, and the early surrender . of the place is it a great degree to be attributed to his professional experience. Captain'Nort, the Brigadier• Gui eral feels much indebted, as tvell as to Lieut. Gcaut, who, previous to the ►►rrival of Captain Nutt, ,vas the senior Officer of Engineers, for the n►anntr which the several duties of that departt»ent were conducted, and he had occasion particolatly to notice the very zealous manner in which all the Officers of that corps performed their dirty. , The good practice of the artillery is visibly shewn upon the enemy's works, and by the loss which the enemy has sustained ; and the steady conduct of the artillery in the batteries, reflects the greatest possible credit upon both the Officers and men of that corps. On the conduct of the troops generally, tht:Bri gAdier-Gener,.l has only to observe, that the cheerfulness with which they performed all the laborious dirties of the sie , 4e, Avbich from the po sition of the tort were great, and the gallantly they dispkyed whenever they came in cooled with the enemy., are sufficient prvols to convince him that they are equal to overcome any difficulty Milo' can he surmounted by soldiers ; and which. opinion he will not fail to convey to his Excel lency the Commiander-in•Chief.

' Extract from a Dispatch from the Hon. MouvrsTuAßT EL PH 1 NSTOS to the Governor-General and Command4r-in- dated Camp, ai. Yter, 7th Nl,tich, ISIS. On the 13th of February, Brigadier• General Smith proceeded in pursuit of the Peishwah.— Bajee Row was then at Solapoor, More than one hundred miles to the east of the General ; a large body of his horse was at Khuttow, in the !►ills be t wren Sattara and the River Maui', and his in fantry and grins were in the neighbourhood of Kerrar, on the Kistna. It appeared to be the Peishwah's intention to draw all these troops to gether, and probably to move to the northward, where, after being joined by Ram Deen and Barra Bhye, he probably meant to stand an action. Fle had been diverted front this plan by the wish to seize on the treasures of the hoe Sedasheo Mann kaisor at Solapoor and Tamboornee, and he was returning from the former place when Brigadier- General Smith obtained in►elligence of his ap proach. The manner in which General Smith availed himself of this opportunity has already been reported to your Excellency (6). The re sult has been, the precipitate retreat of the Peish wah, the rescue of the Rajah of Sattara, and the deati► of Gokla. The Peishwah passed Ilurra on the 27th, where the Native Officer commanding the party very gallantly made a sally on one of the divisions, killing and taking several men and horses. Another division attempted, without success, to take Newassa from Captain Gibbon's sebundies : at length he reached Copergauna, where he was on the Ist inst ; but as his Excel lency Sir Thomas Bishop was to be at Casserbury, within 30 miles, on the same day, it is probable that . ti►e Peishwah has before this been again at• tacked, or compelled to return to the southward as rapidly as he left it., lit the event of such a movement, he will have great difficulty in escap ing General Smith, and must Soon lose a great part of his army by desertions. During these operations of General Smith, Ge neral Pritzler moved towards Singhur, which, front the nature of the roads, he could not reach till the 20th. The tort is of great strength, anti was obstinately defended, but surrendered, as your Excellency is already informed, on the 2d instant. At the same time that Singhur was invested, Colonel Deacon marched against Chakun (7). — Colonel Deacon, on crossing the Godavery, drove the enemy's garrison out of Newassa (8), a place of considerable strength, and one irons which the Ni art's eountry and our communica tions bad sui - ered annoyance and interruption. He then marched against Eurra (9), a place which greatly annoyed the villages that had submitted to the Collector of Ahmechinggur ; it was capable of a long defence, but being vigorously attacked by Colonel Deacon it was soon intimidated into a surrender. Colonel Deacon then proceeded tO Chakun, where he was joined on the 21st by ord nance and artillerymen from Ponnah. On the 22(1 his breaching battery was completed, after some casualties, when the .garrison surrendered themselves prisoners. The•artilleryinen, furnished. front Poonah to act azainst (Thal:nu, have now proceeded to Loy,tior (10), Where the 2d batta lion 6th native infaniry, and a detail of the 2d battalion of the isi, had already been detached for the purpose of joining a detachment under Lieut.- Colonel Profiler. The detachment, consisting of about 380 Europeans and 800 natives, with a battering train, had heel/ ordered front the Con ceit by the Right lion. the Governor of Bombay, for the purpose oh undertaking the siege of Log- , bur. It Was to reach Carlee by the 2d instant ; and, notwithstanding the strength of the place, I hope soon to hear of its reduc!ion (11). These detachments, with another, Which co-operated tut the siege of Binghtir, and a battalion which march ed with a convey to • General Smith, have left I'oonah very weak, but I ventured on them with out hesitation, as there is no re sto to di:itru t the inhabitants, and all attack from wiihoot it rentieued difficult by the neighbourhood of ro es force under General Plitzler, and of Coloueillea con's detachtnent. Notwithstanding the inadequacy of the force under General Munro to any great opera. tint', that Officer has advanced towards the Kislua, and has (alien Badamy (12) and Bangal.,
